Dam Secure
Dam Secure is an AI-native application security platform founded by former Zip Co and Secure Code Warrior executives Patrick Collins and Simon Harloff. It lets teams write security requirements in plain English and enforces them across codebases in real time, catching logic flaws that traditional scanners miss. The company raised a seed round backed by Paladin Capital Group, reported at both US$4 million and A$6.1 million across sources.
